Have you ever wondered how big a collection of classic cars some people chose to collect. Maybe 6, 10, or even 20 perhaps.
Ralph Lauren has around 43 !
This includes but is not limited to ~
5 Jaguars ( which includes XK120, XK140, XK150, XKSS),
at least 11 Ferraris ( which includes a 250GT Spyder California, 250TR Spyder Fantuzzi, 250LM, 275 P2/3 Spyder Drogo, 275GTB/4 Nart Spyder, '75 Daytona Spyder and 250GTO),
4 Bugattis ( includes '59 Grand Prix Car, '38 57SC Atlantic Coupe, '37 Type 57SC Gangloff and a 2007 Veyron all black)
a Alfa Romeo 8C Mille Miglia,
3 Mercedes 300SL Roadsters and a SSK,
2 McLaren P1's,
three Porsche 911's including a GT3RS, Turbo, Ruf CTR3, plus two 918's.
a 1920 Blower Bentley,
and the only American car is a '48 Ford Woody Stn Wagon.
But no Rolls Royce!
And all I have is a Hawk 289 and dream of a bigger/ wider garage in which to work on it more easily.
Apologies if I have miss spelt any of above but I'm starting to feel a little sick

Re: How big is your classic car collection
If you're feeling sick Peter, I'd strongly advise you don't google Jay Leno or the Sultan of Brunei...

Re: How big is your classic car collection
We met a chap in Davos on our Italian raid trip who had around 40 cars. Not in Leno's league but still a fantastic collection and all of them roadworthy.

Not at all surprised if the Sultan has a massive collection as Brunei is a wealthy country. I expect he has a dial on the wall of his palace to control the flow of oil & gas to put a few more dollars into the purse.
I will google Jay though just to see if I agree with his taste on cars.
